MGoBlue100 2,245 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 So it's regrip time. I think I'll scrub 'em up tomorrow, and they'll do for a couple more weeks, but they've lived their useful life. I'm playing Lamkin REL 3 Gen currently, and I LOVE THEM!! I know I could find a set of these, probably pretty inexpensively, but wonder who's playing what, and why. Hit me up with your recommendations. It's like a grip review thread.

silver & black 5,278 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I'm playing Golf Pride Duel Compound. I like them, but they don't have much durability. Two years and they are trash. I'm going to try Pure Grip for the upcoming season. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Liberty Ball Markers 1,250 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I have used the Lamkin REL 3GEN 360 grips for quite some time and love them. No longer being made though, so I'm in the same boat as you... I have also heard good things about Pure, but never tried them.

BigtazzGolf 1,901 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Playing same grips as you. Want to try the new Z5 from Lamkin though. Probably will do a regrip session first of June.

Looks like they install w/o tape or solvent? Uses air. Do you have to buy the install tools? Does this system work well? Questions, questions, questions...

hckymeyer 6,184 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I've been using PURE for 3+ seasons now. I love them. If you prefer to install them traditionally with tape and solvent you can absolutely do that. I play the PURE Pro grip and have no complaints. They hold up well, stay grippy and seem to last longer than any Lamkin grip I've played. Personally I do install them with air. I like to build them up a little so I use a standard size grip, then put down 4 wraps of blue painters tape. Then just blow them on with the air compressor. I do have have one of their tools and it works well. I also used to install them with just a regular air gun attachment with a metal tip, that also worked very well. The only reason I got the tool was that a while back Amazon was clearing out grip kits for like $30. Came with 13 grips and a gun. I wouldn't have paid for one outright. @puregripsusa Those new #BirdieBlue grips looks awesome! But what am I supposed to do with my stockpile?

A photo posted by Brian Meyer (@golfspy_meyer) on Dec 16, 2016 at 12:17pm PST Ditto on the Pures - have gamed them in the past and really like them. Had midsize wraps on my V4's last year. Have Golf Pride MCC Platinums in midsize on my Wilson's and Winn Dry Tec's on the Hogan's --not sure they're going to stay. Really interested in trying the new GP Align grips. Got to try them at the PGA show - believe it or not that ridge on the bottom is really helpful - they say installation is easy, but I'd worry a little about making sure they're on straight. But with air its an easy fix. 2 Quote What's in the bag: Driver: Sub 70 639D - 9.5; Launcher HB Turbo; ST 190 FW Wood: Tour Edge EXS 220 - 15*; ST 180 14* Hybrids: PXG 0311 22 Utility Irons: Staff Model Utilities 18, 21, 24*; Lynx VT Stinger - 16* Irons:; D7 Forged; PTx Pro, VIP 1025 V-Foil MB/CB; Progressives (circa 1993) Wedges: CBX -2, Riviera 52-56-60; Staff Model Putter: Willamette, BB8, Baby Ben Ball: Tour B X (2020); Z-STAR XV Stat Tracker/GPS Watch: Follow @golfspybarbajo Link to post Share on other sites

Jiro 788 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Using Lamkin crossline at the moment. I like the feel but may switch to something more colorful when they are ready to be replaced. In my wedges I have the stock Ben hogan grips made by Lamkin. I like the way these look but not the feel of them. These will definitely go when they are up for replacement.

mega 29 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Another Pure grip user here, DTX midsize, wanted something easy to replace without having to deal with tape and solvent as I tended to let my grips go too long. In addition to meeting this requirement, it turns out they wear better than the traditional grips have, and for someone who doesn't use a glove (unless its raining) the DTX grips work great. The only complaint I have ever had is the grips are a tad shorter then some and they don't offer any extra long versions for gripping say a wedge. For the last year plus all new custom clubs I have ordered have been ordered with a request to ship the grip loose, saves me the trouble of having to scrape the tape off and instead of destroying a brand new grip I give it to a buddy... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Johnnyzen 13 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Lamkin Crossline ACE, midsize. Always a fan of Lamkin. I don't use a glove, so these are great for me. Super tacky. Just wipe them with a damp towel to reactivate the tackiness. Midsize just because I like the feel better in my hands.

bullldog 1,385 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 My favorite is GP Tour wrap 2G. But when it rains they are way to slippery. I have a set of Lampkin UTx Tour wrap cords. Not bad but think they wear quickly. So my go to now is GP New Decade Multi-Compound. They are a good all round grip, works well for all weather conditions. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattF 8,764 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Another Pure user here. I play the Pro in a Midsize, best decision I made was going with blow on grips. I also bought the installation tool. I usually get them from Value Golf on ebay. 2 Quote In the bag: M5 Project X Even Flow Blue 6.0 Fairway: Sub 70 939X 15° Project X Even Flow Blue 6.0 CBX 119 19° hybrid Project X Even Flow Blue 6.0 Tour B JGR 4-GW UST Mamiya Recoil 680 F4 Smartsole S Tracy Bag: Alpha Convoy 514 Balls: MTB-X Cart: CaddyLite ONE Ver. 8 Testing: D7 Forged 4-GW Project X Catalyst 80 6.0 God Bless America, God save the Queen, God defend New Zealand and thank Christ for Australia!
